If we're being honest, even their most compassionate film campaigns feel more than a little calculated. I grew up watching television's Wonderful World of Disney and have long been a fan of the studio's cinematic efforts in both live-action and animation.ĭisney, however, is inevitably beholden to their stock holders and, as such, it's not too difficult to look within their filmography and see the influence of the almighty dollar in their productions and their marketing campaigns.

Even when they only managed to get on base, Pixar was unquestionably still in the upper echelon of animation studios. When they hit a home run, as they often did, Pixar achieved near cinematic perfection. With Pixar, even a weak film by their standards was considered a cinematic delight. For years, Pixar Animation was so dependable that one could barely stand the anticipation built up while waiting for their next feature-length film. I can remember when Pixar Animation represented all that was glorious and extraordinary and, yes, brave about animated feature-length films.
